About this map

The Sunniland settlement sits at the junction of modern conservation and historic swamp navigation in the heart of the Everglades. This 2021 survey documents a landscape defined by its hydrology, where the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge and Big Cypress National Preserve protect vast wetland systems. Distinctive water features like the Okaloacoochee Slough and various strands, including Rice Straw Strand and Bear Island Strand, dominate the terrain.

Small island-like hammocks and rises, such as Owl Hammock and Sick Island, provide relief from the surrounding wetlands. The map traces the industrial and access footprints of the region through corridors like Old Oil Well Rd and the Wilderness Trl, reflecting the area's history of resource extraction and current role as a managed wilderness area. The nearby settlement of Harker and numerous named lakes like Roberts Lake further delineate this unique South Florida environment.
